They also give a flattering account of the treatment which British subjects receive in the Brazilian territory, and express confident hopes of extending Our commerce . in The interior provinces of that fertile king dom. It is generally understood at Rio, that the Portuguese loran to take no part in the quarrel between Spain and her Colonies, torilier titan to secure their own territoty from the violation or encroachment of either ; and that tfe places now occupied by the Portu guese troops will he given up to whichever party may gain the ascendancy %%hen the contest has terminated ; and there appears a rational prospect of affairs leutaitting on a permanent footing. DRURY-LANE THEATRE. MEETING OF THE PROPRIETORS. A General Meeting of the Proprietors of Drury lane Theatre took place in the Saloon yesterday, for the purpose of taking into cousideration the appointment of the Sub-Committee, as agreed upon by the General Committee. • The Earl of .YARMOUTH having been unani mously called to the chair, Mr. WARD, as Secre tary of the Theatre, proceeded to read the Ad vertisement by which the Meeting was convened. The Earl of YahmouTti then stated, that the question which he, as Chairatn, had to put, was, whether the Meeting would agree to the nomina tion made by the General Committee? If any Gentleman objected to such nomination, the re= gular course was to call for a ballot, which, in that case, must immediately take place. Mr. Rout NS Said, that before they proceeded to the business of the'day, he ,risked to pm a ques tion of some importance. Ile had seen in the Newspapers, that a proposition bad been made by the Sub-Committee to the Creditors, stating that they would subscribe to the amount of 3,5001. each, for a discharge of a part of the debt. He was desirous to know whether all the Mem bers of the Sub-Committee had agreed to this, an d whether they still rtmained of the same opi- nion ? Mr. IRoNMoNGER said, that the proposal od ginated with him, and was agreed to by all the Members. A Meeting of the Creditors was held in consequence, but the proposal was nor acceded to by them. At a subsequent Meeting, however, he believed their objections were removed, and they were now willing to accept the offer. He was bound to state, at the saute time, that Mr. IVilsoo, who, as one of the Sub-Committee, was ready in the first instance to advance 3,5001. had, since the refusal of the Creditors to accept their proposal, changed his mind. Mr. ROBINS observed, that the proposition, as he understood, was made upon condition that all the Creditors should come into the tel ;he was therefore slow to acknowledge the great merit of the Sub-Committee in making such a proposition, as they must he aware that it was almost impos sible it could have been accepted. lie could him self name some of the Creditors who could never be Prevailed upon to give it their sanction. He Nvisfied to be understood distinctly, as making no objection to it on his own part, as he thought ti at any Gentleman who refused so liberal an oiler was, under the circumstances of the Theatre, 6: for Bedlam ; but, if he might suggest any thing to the Sub-Committee, he would say, that they should offer ten shillings in the pound to as many as would collie into the terms, and make the best bargain they could with the remainder. He regretted that the Members of the Sub-Com mittee were not present. • sir T. To RTON excused their absence; on the ground of delicacy, aa their conduct might be ex pected to become the subject of inquiry, He agteed \vitt) Mr. Rohins that the refusal of the creditors generally to accept the liberal offer of the Sob-Committee was an act of madness. The Gentlemen who made the offer would, all like lihood, never see a sixpence of their money again. . I AIr. Wilson, he was sure, was perfectly sincere in the offer to bear his proportion of the expence ; but as the creditors had refused, and as lie be lieved he felt that the Committee was ill treated, he was perfectly justified in retracting his first intention. For his own part, he felt disposed to Move a vote of thanks to these Gentlemen tor their hiberality ; and if the creditors generally felt any regard for their own interest—if they felt any in clination to support one of the great national Theatres, and, considered on the score of huma nity, the number of families whose support de- vended o,t iis succeit, tvo.ild concur measure, which was the only one that afforded' 'the slightest prospect of keeping the Theatie open. With respect to their approval of the Sub-Com mittee, he had alvirayslbought it unnecessary; but as some. persons entertained doubts on the sub ject, it was as well to go through the form. It thnse Gentlemen would - come .:forward to treat with the creditors again, the last thing they would do would be to accept their terms. Mr. ItoAngs 'entered into a justification of the Select Committee, of which he, was Chairman.-- He said it. their intention to stop at an advance of 5,0001. or 10,0001 , but merely to ad vance the 5,0001, in the first ins! ance, as a begin ning;: conduct 'of the Sob-Committee was not, therefore, so much more liberal as had been represented. He could not give the Sub-Com mitee credit for liberality, because their offer, in his opinitin, amounted to nothing. They were, as neatly as possible, in a state of bankruptcy, and he wild not stand in the way of any arrange ment which might keep the Theatre open. Mr. IRoNsioNGett saki, he had made the propo sition originally with the utmost sincerity, and had the satisfaction to find it was received in the same spit it. They were all most anxious that it . Itottl‘l be carried into effect. lie would again re new it with the same cordial disposition. The cpw:ition for agreeing in the nomination of the Suh•Committee being then put, Mr. Rontxs rose to t)hject to Mr. Alderman Cox, on the ground that as he held the of iee of Auditor, he us as nut qualified to become a Mem her of the Sun,Committee, ai in that case he would irive to audit'his own arcottnt s. The CHAIRMAN said, that Alderman Croix ,had reFirned his simarion as Auditor. _ Air. RomNs- accordingly withdrew his ohjec- firm. One of the Creditors, 'whose name could not be learned, a(knowledged the liberality of the Snb- Committee, but thought it unjust that the trades men should lose one half of their debt, without any prospect of recovering more. Sir T. TucTON thought that their policy should be to let the Theatre as soon as possible, a thing that was not practicable until those demands were dkposed of. No one would take it loaded with such au nicuMbrance. There Were .many other debts to be disposed of as well as the tradesmen's, and if they Would consent to defer their claims after the payment of 10s. in the pound, until the other debts were discharged, an arrangement might probably be made to that effect. if some determination was not come to on this subject, they never could go on, unless they could con• trive to remove the Theatre into the King's Bench, to go to jail themselves, and take the be nefit of the Insolvent Act. Mr. NVALKER, as one of the Committee of Cre ditors, detailed their proceedin g s on the proposi tion of tie Sub-Committee, and expressed !heir determination not to take lOs. in the pound, if any other class of creditors got 20. . . _ Air. ROBINS suggested that 10s, should be paid to the tradesmen on their old debts, but that 20s. should be allowed on those contracted during the last seasow, _ Mr. IVALKER expressed his conviction that w 1 the creditors would agree to such a proposal. The appointmet of the Sub-Committee was then confirmed by the Meeting. The question for the Chairman leaving the Chair being Iv, Mr. RomNs entered into a jostification of his conduct, and that of the Special Committee. Ile denied that they had gone willingly to the Court of Chancery, but with the utmost reluctance, and complained of the reduction of prices as a measure fatal to the it►►erects of the Theatre. lie denied also that he had any property in Covent-Garden Theatre, as was stated by an anonymous writer, who assigned it as a reason for his conduct to wards Drury-La►►e. Reverting to the subject of the reduced prices, he maintained that the Pro prietors ought to have been called together before it was detet mined on, and he believed L9rd Yar mouth and Sir T. Turton would concur in tl►at Opinion. The Earl of YAIIMOUTH said, he had thought all along so strong a 'Leasure ought not to have been resolved upon without going to the Proprie tors ; but as to the measure itself, he thought, for many reasons not necessary to be stared now, that it was the only one which could be of use to the Theatre in its present condition. Sir T. TuwroN declared his opinion of the ruinous tendency of an experiment, the effect of which was to make Drury• Lane Theatre play se cond fiddle to Covent•G 'Men: They ought not to have speculated on the money of persons who embarked in the Concern on an implied under standing that the prices should not be reduced. Mr. ROBINS complained of it as operating also against the interests of the Performers who took benefits, and lamented that such an extinguisher should he put upon that great actor Mr. Kean, as was done, when they resolved that the public should we him for five shillings, white they could not see the Performers of the other Hope for less than► seven. Mr. CALCRAFT assigned as a reason for not taking the sense of the Meeting 011 the appoint ment of the Sub-Committee, that those Gentlemen had so involved the concern, as to, preven► any one else front undertaking, it. This they had &emit by tie engagements which they made, and by the ruinous measure of reducing the price of admittance. As they bad dressed the dish, so they must endeavour to eat it, and therefore he per mitted their appointment to go on without oppo sition, except that of hoisting op his hand in the negative on one occasion. He thought it due to himself and to the Gentlemen with whom he acted, to state thus much. He denied that it ever was the intention of the Special Com mittee to shut the Theatre, with any other view than that of opening it soon again with more ad vantage to the concern. They %vete now in a storm, they had pilots who could command no confidence, nor had they the best opinion of the crew that was to work the vessel. Mr. laoN.NtoNGett gave a pledge to some of the creditors, who appealed to him, that he would re new the propbsal to the Sub-Committees, and use his endeavours for its success. • The Alectiug then broke up. • REGISTEK. • Performed Lust N:lrht.
